Unladen weight & gross vehicle weightAs a van driver, you need to stay within the weight limits. When a van is empty but fuelled, its weight is called the ‘unladen weight’ or sometimes referred to as kerb weight. Your van also has something called the ‘gross vehicle weight (GVW)’ or ‘maximum authorised mass’ which can be found on your VIN plate. This is the maximum weight that a van is legally allowed to weigh when loaded. It includes: the van, the fuel, you and any passengers and anything else you’re carrying.

Calculating payloadTo work out how much you can load onto a van (payload) and be within the legal GVW limit you need to do a simple calculation. You subtract the van’s unladen weight from the van’s gross vehicle weight (GVW).
The figure you come to is the payload and is the total weight of what you can safely load into the van but remember this includes all passengers and their luggage. For example, if your vehicle is carrying three passengers weighing in at 12 stone each (76kg) this will use up 228kg before you even start adding any tools or cargo.

Design

On the path of continual improvement and betterment we decided to build a class leading commercial to solve the rising obstacles and costs involved within the 3500kg big van and 7500kg small truck market.

After several years of research talking and listening to many of the UK’s leading transport and logistics companies we listed all the issues and obstacles using 3500kg and 7500kg traditional luton, box and large panel vans for deliveries.

FLEET SUPPORT

Every minute matters

Operating a commercial fleet is not without its difficulties. Vans and people who drive them are critical to your business, particularly if the vehicles are specially equipped and the employees are skilled technicians. Routine maintenance and unscheduled garage visits are unavoidable even in the most well managed fleets. The challenge for every fleet manager is to get the vehicle fixed and back on the road as quickly as possible. Every minute your van isn’t working is costing money and effecting your customers.

The Maxi Mover Fleet Support team will be there to help you minimise and reduce those off-the-road hours. We will work tirelessly as we believe, that getting you back on the road is an hour-by-hour issue and not a day-by-day one. We will assess repair work and chase the relevant manufacturer every step of the way to ensure minimum downtime with maximum peace of mind.

We can also provide like-for-like rental vehicles at short notice to plug the gap and keep your business moving on the road to success.
